Scott Pelley accuses Bari Weiss of pushing 60 Minutes edits
Scott Pelley told The New York Times that Bari Weiss pressured 60 Minutes producers to shape coverage, citing internal emails about the Renee Good segment. Pelley said those emails proposed edits and language designed to portray protesters as violent and to change how Good's actions were presented. Pelley said the editorial clashes occurred during Weiss's tenure as a producer and helped define his final days at 60 Minutes. The dispute matters because it raises questions about editorial independence at a flagship news magazine and WHO controls how high-profile stories are framed.
Oh wow, Bari Weiss didn’t even come to that crucial meeting with the 60 Minutes team. It was just Nick Bilton and one of Bari’s deputies. This is crazy!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!
America's #1 Popeyes Enjoyer9It is very funny just how bad she is at all of this
Chad5I believe it was reported that the execs did not want Bari to attend (encouraged her to stay away) because of how much she is disliked by the 60 crew. They believed her presence would be counterproductive.
worm3she’s got a lot on her mind
Aaron Blackshear2I can be OK with messy but you have to embrace the mess. If you precipitate mess and duck the mess? I can make it messier. You have no idea my capacity for mess!
